‘Five uplift projects to fulfil Karachi’s need’

ISLAMABAD (March 10 2007): Additional Chief Secretary Planning and Development Sindh Ghulam Sarwar Khero said on Friday that the Rs 22 billion worth five development projects approved for Sindh recently would not only fulfil the needs of the citizens of Karachi but also would provide relief to them.

Talking to PTV he said that now there would be two main roads in Karachi one is National Highway and the other would be Indus Highway due to which the distance to Peshawar from Karachi would be reduced by 400 kms.

He said, the credit goes to the government that is fully aware of the importance of the development of the road infrastructure and giving preference to it. The water treatment plants in Hyderabad and the women health projects are also the part of the millennium development goals he said.
